The fun in erecting a tower of blocks is not in building them up but in knocking them over.

Only discipline and law, working over the years, can change us from destroyers into conformers to the rules of society. The teenager inhabits a world of worry and selfdoubt. Many of the things he worries about seem trivial to his parents, but unless the troubles are met head-on and resolved, the teenager's frustration explodes into violence and anti-social acts.

(AP Wireptioto) NEGROES SEARCHED AFTER ARREST during wave of vandalism in Jacksonville Atlanta Negroes, Whites In Rock-Throwing Clash 12A March 24, 1964 Makarios, Nik 'DeaV Is Hinted United Press International NICOSIA. Cyprus High Greek Cypriot sources today re fused to comment on an uncon firmed report that Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev has promised military action against Turkey in case of Turkish intervention in Cyprus.

The report came as hopes for early political negotiations toward a Cyprus settlement rose with the agreement of Greece, Turkey and Britain on former Finnish Premier Sakari Tuomio-ja as United Nations mediator here. U.N. Secretary General Thant needed approval only from the feuding Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities before making the appointment. The 53-year-old Finnish politician diplomat, who is now his country's ambassador to Sweden, reportedly agreed to serve as mediator for the bitter dispute if all parties accepted him. The rightwing weekly Ky- pros, regarded as having good contacts among Cypriot govern ment ministers, said yesterday that Khrushchev had guaranteed Soviet protection for Cyprus by all means at Moscow's disposal in the event of a Turkish invasion, with war not confined to Cyprus but being taken to the Turkish mainland." The weekly, quoting an uni dentified Greek Cypriot minister, said the top secret Soviet note to President Archbishop Makarios also offered every financial assistance needed, without strings." The contents of the Kremlin message have not been disclosed.

It was delivered less than 24 hours after the crisis over Turkey's apparent plan to send 10,000 troops to Cyprus. Greek Cypriot sources said ear lier it offered moral and material help to the Cyprus government. Already elements of the U.N. peace-keeping mostly troops furnished by Canada, are on the island. The U.N.

mediator has, according to the mediation agreement, only three months to settle the dispute. Victories Raise U.S. Viet Hope The Associated Press DONG MY, Viet Nam Two victorious Vietnamese strikes that have left more than 30 guerrillas dead around this Mekong Delta village raised U.S. hopes today that the tide may be turning against the Communists. Government troops launched the attacks over the past three days as they sought to regain the initiative in the Mekong Delta, where the Viet Cong have seized control of large areas.

"If we keep this up we can change the picture in Viet Nam soon," a senior U.S. military adviser declared as he showed newsmen captured Communist weapons and dead guerrillas spread-eagled across Viet Cong fortifications. In Saigon, it was reported one U.S. Army enlisted man was killed and another wounded yesterday in South Viet Nam. In one incident, defense corps-men made a strategic retreat from an outpost under attack by Viet Cong units Saturday night.

After the attackers had streamed into the abandoned outpost, it was leveled by artillery fire. In the other incident, a company of armored personnel car riers carrying Ranger troops stormed Dong My village and wiped out Viet Cong resistance in what American advisers described as the best armored per formance this year. United Press International ATLANTA Negroes protesting segregation and Whites, some of them armed with makeshift clubs, clashed in a rock-throwing melee at a southeast Atlanta restaurant early today for the second time in less than a week. Several Negroes and Whites said they were struck by stones but apparently no one was in jured seriously. The restaurant is in a racially mixed neighborhood.

ATTY. GEN. KYNES to send investigators Old As Time Richard Perlman of the Children's Bureau believes there are six reasons why teenagers become delinquents, but he does not attempt to select the dominant one to say precisely how many of them are involved in any given case. Here they are: 1. Post-war prosperity, with success being increasingly emphasized in material terms.

The lack of opportunity for achieving success brings increasing pressure toward defiant behavior. 2. Poor housing, primarily in big cities. 3. Increasing break-down of family control.

4. The growing number of working mothers, leaving the children on their own for long stretches of the day. 5. Violence as reported and depicted in magazines, movies, television and newspapers. T-o movies, "The Blackboard Jungle" and "The Wild Ones," frequently are cited as dangerous because they tend to make teenagers want to imitate the actions of juvenile delinquents.

6. Impending treats of war and annihilation, producing attitudes of irresponsibility. So social workers are much in the position of a person who has all the pieces of a jig-saw puzzle but so far hasn't been able to fit 'hem together. One thing all jf tnem are srre about delinquency is not confined to teenagers living in poverty. Rich youths, as we shall see later, commit delinquent acts purely for kicks.

Tomorrow: Parents are delinquent too. arets. Two replied, but politely turned him down. Next came the white mice problem. The mice got tumors when Mark painted them with the tar and the tumors disappeared when he stopped painting.

"They sure have gotten irritable though," he explained. About this time, the surgeon general issued his report on health hazards of cigaret smoking. "With all the publicity since the surgeon general's report came out, it kinda stole my thunder, but it has been an interesting project," Mark said. Undismayed, Mark said he is trying to make a tarless cigaret with "lots of flavor." For his science fair project in April he faces two obstacles. One is getting a dry tobacco leaf for display.

He told Mrs. Neuberger he was writing the Tobacco Institute for tobacco, but added he didn't know where the institute was. His second immediate problem: The mice are dying from tumors. Did he convince his father to stop smoking? Mark didn't say. NAACP Charges Florida Discriminates At Parks "I commend those who have alertly brought this matter to the attention of public officials in that The illegal bolita and other gambling operations in the county were brought to the attorney general's attention last week by a month-long special probe by The News, which revealed "wide open" activity.

It was the second time with At least four cars were damaged when struck by rocks. Henry H. Daniel, 41, said the glass in the front door of his restaurant was shattered by someone in the crowd of Ne groes, which numbered about 100. Daniel said Negroes threw rocks before the Whites did, but it appeared to newsmen at the scene the Negroes were dispers ing on orders of their leaders before the first rocks were thrown. NAACP, contended in the suit that two faculty members of Florida A and University, Dr.

Clarence Owens and W. O. Mack, were denied admission last May to Killearn Gardens near Tallahassee because they were Negroes. The suit also charged that the park board denied Negroes the use of parks on an equal basis with Whites; that nine of the 56 parks were exclusively for Negroes, and in 10 others, facili ties were segregated and signs posted designating separation of the races. East Germany two weeks ago.

Rusk announced Sunday the crewmen would be released "in the very nearest future." Offi cials in Berlin took that to mean yesterday, but they waited in vain. A third airman on the plane who was injured was released earner. The U. S. said the craft strayed over Communist terri tory, but Russia charged the plane was on a spy mission.

Both boys and girls on Halloween committed acts that amounted to the defacement or destruction of property. The fact so many youths are not caught makes it difficult to measure the size of delinquent acts in the United States.

The U.S. Children's Bureau estimates 1.1 million persons under age 18 were arrested in 1962 and the figure does not include arrests for minor traffic violations. Nobody is bold emough even to make a guess on the number of juvenile law breakers who don't get caught. Juvenile delinquency is not something that sprang into life in our generation. Roul Tunley, in his comprehensive book, "Kids, Crime and Chaos," points out that 4,000 years ago an Egyptian priest wrote, "Vandalism is rife and crime of all kinds is rampant among our young people." SOCRATES, TOO Socrates complained that young Athenians "contradict their parents, gobble up the best at the table and tyrannize over their teachers." In 1764 the Rev.

Henry M. Muhlenberg tried to quiet the boys in his congregation in Philadelphia and they shouted back "Go to hell." But there is almost unanimous agreement among experts that today's juvenile delinquents are a special breed. They are growing to adulthood in the age of anxiety ind they reflect the fears and worries of their parents. "They are living in a pressure cooker," says Philip G. Green, director of the Children's Bureau Division of Juvenile Delinquency.

"It is an age in which divorce is on the increase, adult crime is soaring, competition to climb to the top of the economic heap is at its fiercest and there are nagging threats of war and annihilation by the hydrogen bomb."

The suit filed yesterday charged that the State Board of Parks violated the 14th Amend ment to the U.

S. Constitution by operating its parks under a policy of racial segregation. A hearing was not scheduled im mediately. Robert Saunders of Tampa, Florida field secretary for the ll i ri The Associated Press TOKYO U.S. Ambassador Edwin O.

Reischauer was reported recovering in a Tokyo hospital last night from a stab in the right thigh inflicted by a Japanese youth. Police said the assailant was mentally deranged. The accused youth was identified by police as Norikazu Shiotani, 19. He is nearsighted and said he wanted to protest because the U.S. and Japanese governments did not do enough for people with poor sight.

Police said Shiotani had tried unsuccessfully earlier this year to set fire to a U.S. embassy building to advance his crusade. He was questioned then. Later he was released for lack of evidence. During questioning today he admitted the arson attempt, according to the police.

There apparently was no po- litical motive for the assault, police said. President Kennedy's in 1961 of the popu-. lar, Japanese-speaking ambassador was hailed widely in Japan because of Reischau-er's scholarly knowledge of Asia. He has been popular in the country. It was the first assault on fan American ambassador to 'Japan in more than, a cen-' tury of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Indian disarmament nego tiator V. C. Trevedi said his government favors Moscow's "nuclear umbrella" proposal, which calls for the destruction of all nuclear weapons except a limited number retained for defense by the United States and Russia as a first step toward disarmament.

The West has rejected this plan, chiefly because the Russians have offered no guar antee of verification of weapons destruction. "India views with favor the principle contained in the (So viet Foreign Minister Andrei) Gromyko proposal of a nuclear umbrella and suggests that the committee discussions will pro ceed more fruitfully if this thesis is accepted by all of us," Trevedi said. Soviet spokesman Semyon K. Tsarapkin expressed delight at the Indian statement. He called on the West to "agree in prin ciple" to Moscow's plan at once.

Exile Deaths Confirmed Uff mien News Wire StrvKas KINGSTON, Jamaica Ja maican officials today con firmed that 17 of 18 Cubans, seeking to flee the Castro re gime, died of thirst, hunger and exposure while drifting helpless-ly in a disabled open boat. The lone survivor, weak and emaciated, is in a hospital on Grand Cayman Island, where the boat was beached Friday. Grand Cayman, about 200 miles south of Cuba, is under Jamaican control. The group left Cuba March 2 and the engine of the boat failed 10 hours later. For 18 days they drifted helplessly in the Caribbean as the party, including five children and six women, died, one by one.

The survivor, Jamaican offi cials said, was too weak phys ically to dispose of the body of his wife. The other 16 bodies were thrown overboard during ll thi ii if nfl-fl the 53-year-old ambassador as he came out of the embassy chancery on his way to lunch. The ambassador was given blood transfusions to compensate for heavy loss of blood. After the wound was closed X-rays were taken to determine whether the missing tip of the blade was lodged in the leg. The X-rays did not 'reveal it.

The chief of the surgical team which operated on Reischauer told newsmen the 3'4-inch-deep wound should be healed in two weeks, unless there were complications. An official embassy statement issued by. U.S. Minister John K. Emmerson termed the attack an "erratic act possible in any society." Quick thinking and swift action by John Ferchak, 39, an official in the embassy's commercial section, may have saved Reischauer's life.

Ferchak had moved forward to open the chancery door, but the ambassador beat him to it. The next moment "out of nowhere came this man into the building," Ferchak said. The man Shiotani bumped into the ambassador. Ferchak, from Jersey City, N.J., heard Reischauer say, "who is that man?" and then saw he carried a knife. Grabbing Shiotani from the back, Ferchak pushed him to the floor, forced the knife from his hand, then called for help.

Reischauer said, "I am bleeding, call a doctor," and Ferchak helped him to a seat. Whipping off his tie, Ferchak used it as a tourniquet to stop the flow of blood, then got a scarf from one of the secretaries to make another tourniquet when he saw the tie was not effective. The ambassador, still conscious, was rushed to the hospital operating table. Three hours later his Japanese-born wife, Haru, issued a statement saying her husband was "making a good recovery" and was grateful for the "warm and spontaneous sympathy" from everyone. OFFICIALS PAY CALL Foreign Minister Masayoshi Ohira and a representative of Premier Hayato Ikeda, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kuro-gane, called at the hospital to express official regrets.

Kurogane in a nationwide television broadcast voiced "the hatred the Japanese people have for violence as exemplified by the act of this young man." At Shiotani's home town of Numazu, 85 miles from Tokyo, newsmen were told he left high school in his second year suffering from a disease which caused intermittent attacks of dizziness, noise in the ears and partial deafness. The youth told police he was preoccupied with the increasing number of shortsighted women Japan and the degradation of women since the end of the war. National Security Minister Takashi Hayakawa said he did not believe the Japanese policemen on duty at the embassy were at fault. An embassy spokesman said a passing taxi driver saw the youth climbing over the 6-foot-high wall at one side of the big embassy compound. The driver went to the guardhouse at the embassy entrance and notified the police there, but by the time the U.S.

Marine guard reached the side wall, Shiotani had disappeared.

S. Appeasement United Press International WASHINGTON Wow! Mark Stephenson has really had his troubles trying to get his father to quit smoking.

The problems of the 13-year-old budding scientist from Grand Island, N.Y., appeared in yesterday's Congressional Record, placed there by Sen. Maurine Neuberger, D-Ore. She called Mark's letter to her 1 a "delightful commentary." The project got started last December. For a science fair, he wrote, "I built my own smoking machine because there was no one anywhere (and I sure called all kinds of companies) who even had the right kind of pump I needed." Mark improvised a suction pump from a bicycle pump with a reversed valve to suck air. He arranged glass tubes to hold cigarets.

The machine produced a little tar. "I buy cigarets by the carton when I have enough money and I can put three cigarets at a time in the glass tube," he said. "It gets a little smelly but it sure works."

Edward J. Gurney, accused the administration today of "flagrant appeasement" in its han dling of the latest Soviet shooting down of an American plane.

Gurney issued a statement criticizing Secretary of State Dean Rusk's comment Sunday that the United States should "forget the whole thing." "Our planes are being shot down on a regular basis," Gurney said. "We apologize, then call it a closed issue." Gurney said 27 American planes have been shot down by Communists since 1950. "I doubt if the families of the 88 United States men killed or missing in these murderous attacks would agree with Mr. Rusk that we should forget the whole thing," he added. "This business the secretary speaks of is obviously the business of appeasement.

The American people want and deserve more courageous leadership in the face of this Communist aggression." 2 FLIERS STILL HELD In Berlin, meanwhile, U.
